Third party sources of information

Service Providers. In order to provide our Services, we partner with other companies that perform certain business-related functions on our behalf. We call these companies “Service Providers.” In some cases, these Service Providers may provide us with personal information about you. For example, if we use a Service Provider to help us verify your identity, we may receive the results of that verification.
Advertising partners. Some aspects of our Services include advertising-related technologies. Our advertising partners use these technologies to provide us with information about the effectiveness of our Services and marketing, and generally allow us to deliver more relevant advertisements.

Applications and services you connect to your Sorbet account. If you choose to connect your Sorbet account to one or more third party applications or services, we may collect information from those applications or services.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Sorbet’s Use of Cookies

We and our advertising partners use various tools to collect information when you use our Services. These tools may include, for example:

cookies, which are small text files that allow us to recognize your device.
pixel tags, which are transparent images that provide information about whether a specific page or email has been viewed.
advertising identifiers, which allow our advertising partners to provide you with more relevant advertisements based on your preferences.

Some of these technologies store information in the browser or on your device. Other technologies may use network-related or other information to recognize your device (e.g., IP address). Our Services use these technologies, for example, when you first request a web page and information is then stored on your computer or other device so the website or app can access information when you make subsequent requests for pages from that Service. These technologies may also be used to collect and store information about your usage of the Services, such as pages you have visited, your search history, and content you have viewed.

Depending on the Services you use, we and our advertising partners may also use these technologies to gather information about how you view and use our Services and content, and to connect your activity with other information we store about you. Some of these partners include:

Google Analytics
MixPanel

Some technologies used on our Website or elsewhere in our Services may collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services. The manner in which these third parties collect, use, store, and disclose your information is governed by the policies of such third parties. Sorbet has no responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of any third party that may be enabled within, or integrated with, the Services.

Your Cookie Choices
You may stop or restrict the placement of some types of Cookies on your device or remove them by adjusting your preferences as your browser or device permits. You can also consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Apple Safari). However, please note that cookie-based opt-outs are typically not effective on mobile applications. You may opt-out of personalized advertisements on some mobile applications by following the instructions for Android, iOS and others.

The online advertising industry additionally provides websites from which you may opt out of receiving targeted ads from data partners and other advertising partners that participate in self-regulatory programs. You can access these and learn more about targeted advertising and consumer choice and privacy by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative, the Digital Advertising Alliance, and the Your Ad Choices for App tool.

Do-Not-Track Disclosure

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that players can set in certain web browsers. Please note that we do not respond to or honor DNT signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browser, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and developing a common approach to responding to DNT.
